O'Malley Discusses Death Penalty on Maddow Show

Gov. Martin O'Malley (D) appeared last night on MSNBC's "The Rachel Maddow Show" to talk about Maryland's soon-to-be law that places some of the nation's tightest evidence standards on death penalty cases.

O'Malley, who sought a full repeal of the death penalty this session, touted the legislation as a step forward, making arguments familiar to those who followed the issue this year.

Maddow also seemed quite taken with O'Malley's Celtic rock band, O'Malley's March, which she pronounced "cool."
